One of the big hits of Scandinavian cinema in the 80s, this drama has been nominated twice for the Oscars (director and adapted screenplay). It appears in 17th place in the list of 50 films which the British Film Institute considers everyone should watch by the age of 14. And that’s no surprise, taking into account the fierce sense of humour and the relaxed tenderness which Ingemar, the young 12 year old main character, uses to face trouble, disappointments and happiness in his existence in rural Sweden. He becomes progressively conscious of the need to relativize everything in life, above all our sadness and misfortunes, by comparing them to those of others.

All films will be shown in their original version with Spanish subtitles.
